Need your help guys - Oval Tourmaline vs. Oval Spinel

[Love in Bloom]

The colors are very different so it shouldn''t matter too much they are similar cuts, eh?

Just beatiful Lauren!

Lauren,
We need to know, what kind of settings are you thinking of getting for them? Or are they going to be earrings, pendant (both in a pendant lariat would be cool)? What is your project?? Dying to know!!

I have a setting like Kelli''s Oval halo that I won a few weeks ago. After her ordeal, I was worried about mine, but I trust my jeweler, so hopefully it will work out. The spinel is going in there.

I don''t have plans for the pink tourmaline yet . . . I think I may just start collecting them until I can set them. I have that pink cut-cornered square that I got from GemRite a while back, and since I''m an October baby, I''m kind of drawn to nice examples of them.

I say both but if I had to pick I would chose the spinel
